Immersed in the festivity of Paris Fashion Week, Belgian designer Meryll Rogge dazzled crowds with her A/W 24-25 collection for her brand’s fourth anniversary. Mergence of spontaneity and finesse, the collection is an ode to the joy of dressing for the unrehearsed soirees. It draws spirit from the clandestine buzz of Belgian nightlife and the nostalgic new beat, manifesting in pieces that flirt with juxtapositions of texture and era.
Think faded florals next to full sequins, classic menswear wool coats alongside leather bombers – all evoking the rebellious vibe of ’90s youth culture, reminiscent of Tobias Zielony and Rineke Dijskstra’s portraits, yet with a buoyant twist of sophistication.
Everyday superpositions, such as scarves paired with transparent vinyl, echo the practical creativity of past trends while embracing the modern demand for versatile attire that transitions seamlessly from day duties to night revelries.
Rogge introduces an inventive take on layering with Paisley satin shirts, and brushed mohair cardigans embellished with rhinestones and crochet, infusing a touch of couture to the commuter’s wardrobe. It’s an invitation to seamless transformation, channelling everyday mundanity into club-worthy elegance.
